The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge

Hello my friends and thanks for stopping by today ... you have made my day!!

This time around at the Sisterhood of Crafters, we are looking for creations using at least ONE HEART on it. Card, 3d projects, scrapbook layouts ... choice is yours ... whatever you wish.

That's right ... the theme is:

I {HEART} VALENTINE'S

This was the perfect time to play again with my new Crafty Secrets/Heartwarming Vintage 'Vintage Valentine Digital Kit'. So many of these adorable images I remember from the Valentine's Day cards we used to hand out to our classmates when I was in grade school (many, many moons ago, LOL). Here are a couple of cards I've come up with. I hope you find inspiration . . .

Isn't she just the cutest! There are so many wonderful vintage papers & images in this kit! Since I don't have little kids any longer (all grown up) where I could use this for a party invitation, I decided to use the front on the front of my card and as you can see in the next photo, I used the back for the reverse side of my card front. Cute huh! LOL! Of course I finished the inside (New Years Resolution) simply with a plain white sheet for my message.

This would be cute for a young person's birthday where they will have cupcakes. And, the Inky Impressions charm was the perfect embellishment. There is also another heart charm attached to the ribbons on the front of the card.

There are SO MANY options by using this Vintage Valentine Kit I could just make Valentine cards ALL DAY!!! Here's a peek at what comes in the kit:

Our Vintage Valentines Digital Download Kit is brimming with fun stuff
in a mix of retro to Victorian styles with 2 printable sheets of
valentines and a sheet of matching backs, 2 sheets of shabby tags, 2
strips of cute tickets, 2 styles of invitations, a A4 and a mini
envelope, 2 sheet music cupcake wrappers and decorative hearts to
embellish with. There are 3 frames and a beautiful big corner heart
design you can use on a card or layout.

I thought this couple was just so darn cute I decided they would be the focus of my 2nd card creation. The background paper is also from this kit and I've used it for the front AND the inside of my card. This design is probably about as Clean & Simple as my cards get (like all those layers ya know, lol). The heart corners are die cut from red cardstock using the Cheery Lynn Designs B165 Lace Corner Deco E (set of 3). The paper doily is from JoAnn Fabrics (Wilton cake section) and the pink satin ribbon is Offray also from JoAnn Fabrics. I had a scrap of the music paper left from my first creation so of course I had to use it!

Oh my gosh...I LOVE thse cards...so cute and adorable...I have to check this kit out...love these vintage images...and it does bring back memories...I love Valentines...wish we were closer so we could make some together!!!
